The weekly Irish tunes class and slow session at the Robert Gillow pub in Lancaster continues to go from strength to strength, with an enthusiastic group of regulars and new participants joining all the time, some of whom travel a considerable distance to take part.

The class meets every Thursday (with some breaks – see below) between 2.00 – 4.00 pm in the Robert Gillow. The first hour consists of myself teaching a new tune to the class in the room upstairs. For the second hour we retire downstairs to the bar, where we partake of the Gillow’s fine ales and play tunes in an informal slow and steady session. It’s a really nice way to spend a Thursday afternoon.

We are about to have a break of three weeks whilst I go travelling with Absolutely Legless in Spain, but we will resume on 4th August. Please see below for a full list of dates the class will meet during the rest of 2016, and if you are a new participant thinking of joining us, we would love to have you, just turn up! There is a nominal charge of £5.00 for each participant in the class, but the session is free to all.
